medicine throughout history. The history of mass deaths and illnesses and how medicine has stopped if not eliminated these diseases shows the advancement of people and education throughout history.

Shelley Li Ms. Cassell G Block 16 September 2015 History When people join together, they create society. When societies join together, they create history. The efforts of the people who orchestrate the course of events shapes not only our modern world, but the course of human history. But why is that, throughout history, certain societies were able to dominate the historical stage, and other societies go extinct? For example, Europe and China both had a “Golden Age”, but in the modern world, Europe

For centuries, dominant history as we know it has been shaped, twisted and prodded to the point that it is barely recognizable. Our alleged history that is imprinted in classroom textbooks and encyclopedias isn’t history at all, for as Eduardo Galeano believes, all dominant historical records are representative of the untruth.

A majority of people do not have a full grasp of the meaning behind certain images and buildings.

Thompson and his The Making of the English Working Class (1978) not only constructs the English working class, ‘calling it up’ through the writing of its story, it also ushers in a new kind of history.
